John Doe -
I don't give a flying flip if you think what happened to my family makes sense, or seems "reasonable" to you. You were not there, so how could you possibly know?
Your statements make you seem quite narrow minded, and silly, to say the least. Just because you may believe a certain way doesn't make your way the truth. Hmm, I seem to recall we all were victims of the same type of mentality.
We were brought up in a witness home, where "ghosts" or whatever you want to call it were not supposed to exist. So we didn't talk to each other about it until later. Big deal. And yes, I am talking about the past, as that is when it happened. If I encountered one tonight, I would let you know, but the statement was about the past, when it happened. Don't know what is so difficult to understand about that.
Trust me, my memory of the situations described are crystal clear. If it happened to you, you would remember too. And I suppose my witness son who was with me when we would visit my mother, saw it too, was actually just imagining it as well. And he had never heard us talk about it, he saw it on his own, and told me later about it.
If someone doesn't want to believe in ghosts, fine. To each their own. But for those who have encountered ghosts, or spirit creatures, or whatever you want to call it, we know what we saw and experienced. And for you to suggest that we didn't see it, is really quite foolish. It is the main reason I really don't talk about it too much on this website, because there are immature people who must be right at any cost, even when they have nothing whatsoever to back up what they are saying.
So fine, don't believe. But don't tell me what I did or didn't see. It just makes you look like an idiot.
